Hi Drabbag. Glad to see you here. Nelsonite has been kind enough to put up some lessons on strumming that may help you with your comfort level with strumming. You will notice that the tunes here are mostly fingerpicked so strumming is not essential to playing them. The tab is pretty standard. You can google for how to read tabs pretty easily. Download the free copy of
guitarpro and play a tune and you will see how the tab relates to the music.
